How do you make food less hot from jalapenos?
Here are some ways to tame the heat from jalapeños:
During Cooking:
* Remove Seeds and Membranes: These contain most of the capsaicin, the compound that makes jalapeños hot.
* Soak in Milk or Yogurt: Milk and yogurt contain casein, a protein that binds to capsaicin, reducing its impact.
* Add Acids: Acids like vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice can help tame the heat.
* Cook Longer: Longer cooking can break down some of the capsaicin.
* Use Less Jalapeños: This is the simplest solution!
After Cooking:
* Add Cooling Ingredients: Sweetness helps balance out the heat. Use sugar, honey, or even a dollop of sour cream.
* Serve with Dairy: Milk, yogurt, sour cream, and cheese can all help neutralize the heat.
* Drink Milk or Water: Plain water can help dilute the capsaicin.
* Eat Bread or Rice: Starchy foods can help absorb some of the heat.
* Chew Gum: Chewing gum, especially mint-flavored gum, can help freshen your mouth and distract from the burning sensation.
Remember:
* Everyone's heat tolerance is different. Start small and add more jalapeños gradually if you find it manageable.
* The heat from jalapeños can take time to dissipate. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't disappear immediately.
